Each double-page spread covers one aspect of the American Revolution; breaking it into small; easy-to-understand chunks for them. The illustrations are well done and help tell the story. We read 3 or 4 pages each night because they keep begging for more. After just a few nights of reading it at bedtime; they can both explain the Stamp Act; the Quartering Act; the French and Indian War; the Boston Tea Party; taxation without representation; as well as identifying some key people in the revolution. I am so amazed. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to teach history to their children; and I am hoping to find more like it!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A fun read even for adults!By SectorI homeschool my 2nd grader; and this year we are diving deep into early American history. This book is hands down my favorite children's history book we've read so far. The pages are full of big; colorful; lively illustrations that really put you in the moment that's being described. The author also does a great job of writing a tight; concise explanation of the lead-up to and early years of the Revolutionary War. The language is also really thrilling; with vibrant words and short paragraphs that keep the story rolling. There truly were no dry areas. My child was never bored and even requested to keep reading after a chapter had concluded.The chapters are brief (good for short attention spans of young children); but are jammed full of info. Additionally; as an adult; I really enjoyed the book and learned quite a few new facts. I just can't say enough good things about this text. As a final note; the back cover recommends the book for 2nd grade and up. I concur this book is best for kids age 7+.14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Excellent!! Mom Approved!By Elizabeth EAs a homeschooling mom and one who was not born in the US; I am always looking out for historical books that will make American History not only easy for me understand; but also fun for the kids. This book is beyond excellent; it is absolutely fabulous!!! This is by far the best; simpliest and most interesting account of the events that led to the revolutionary war that I have ever read ( I have read plenty).
